HOLLYWOOD GOES HIPSTER

See Leonardo DiCaprio as an Award-Winning Hipster

Over the course of his career, Leonardo DiCaprio has played everything from a penniless artist on the Titanic to a Quaalude-hoovering Wall Street conman bilking his clients out of millions. But what if we wanted to see the Oscar nominee in a more indie kind of role—the kind befitting a guest-star arc on Lena Dunham’s Brooklyn-set HBO series Girls? While we may not see DiCaprio as Hannah Horvath’s surprise love interest anytime soon—single tear—we can now see what the actor might look like if he were given the part, thanks to a DesignCrowd contest that asked its users to submit “hipsterized” renderings of their favorite celebrities.

The journal-toting, patent-dress-shoe-wearing version of DiCaprio, from user Free Imagination, took the contest’s first prize, but the submissions are full of hipsterized gems. At DesignCrowd you can click through to see Meryl Streep, Sandra Bullock, Christian Bale, and other actors in all of their hard-rocking, heavily inked, and pompadoured hipster glory.
